We Live to Glorify God in All We Do
The Covenant Nation is a group of churches under the leadership of Pastor Poju Oyemade (also founder and Senior Pastor) that was established as Covenant Christian Centre in 1994 until a name and logo change in January 2020.
TCN, as it is fondly called, started from one centre in Lagos, Nigeria and has spread to 20+ centres including campuses in the United Kingdom, Canada and United States.
We place strong emphasis on a personal relationship with Christ and communion with Him through the Word (the Bible) and this is consistently communicated from the pulpit. Practical insights on how to live and grow in the Christian faith is taught and encouraged in daily life, which makes an impact and difference in the world. With combined Sunday attendance running into thousands and a large online community and followers that identify with the ministry, this modern-day congregation has flourished and grown into a church without walls.
We cater to congregants down to the individual level with small groups systems; Life Fellowships (Prayer Cells) and Covenant Community Groups, which give the needed personal care to members.
As a member of the larger body of Christ, the Covenant Nation heeds the call to ‘go make disciples of all nations’ (Matt 28:19) through its events and programs like The World Faith Believer’s Convention (WOFBEC), International Conference for Pastors, Ministers, Leaders and Workers (ICPLMW), The Platform (a National Development conference) and various community initiatives like Lagos Sees (Free Medical Eye Care to host communities), Edu-Aid (providing assistance to Public Primary Schools), Project WRAP (providing assistance to widows and families of deceased service personnel)
Covenant Capital Business School (CCBS), The Lagos Career Fair, The Platform Nigeria – a non-political, non-partisan national development Fair which holds as a global media event on Workers’ Day (May 1) and Nigeria’s Independence Day (October 1), hosting speakers from the highest levels of the nation’s leadership and leaders in Global policy practice.
We are called to proclaim, ‘Jesus is Lord’ from the top of the world
The fulfilment of that mission takes place when those believers become rooted and grounded enough in God’s word to reach out and teach others these same principles.
We are called to lead people, primarily born-again believers, to the place where they operate proficiently in biblical principles of faith, love, healing, prosperity; redemption and righteousness, and to the place where they can share those principles with others.
We are called to assist believers in becoming rooted, grounded and established in the word of God by teaching them to give God’s word first place in their lives. (Colossians 1:23; Psalm 112).
We are called to reveal mysteries, victorious revelations of God’s word, that have been hidden from ages (Colossians 1:25-28).
We are called to build an army of mature believers bringing them from milk to meat, from religion to reality. We are called to train them to become skillful in the word of righteousness, to stand firm in the
spiritual warfare against the kingdom of darkness (Hebrews 5:12-14; Ephesians 6:10-28).
We are called to proclaim, ‘Jesus is Lord’ from the top of the world to the bottom and all the way around.
